Turkmenistan has some of the
most fascinating monuments of Central Asia's Islamic and
pre-Islamic architecture.
Turkmenistan's heritage sites are beyond comparison not
only for their age, but also for their original state
- almost unspoilt by later reconstruction and restoration.
You can stroll around the magnificent city-sites of Ancient
Merv and Nissa,
breathe history in the ancient capital of Khorezm, Kunya-Urgench,
or join the archaeologists and witness history in the
writing in Zoroastrian Margush.
Come and visit the Sufi philosopher's shrines of Meane
Baba or Abu-Fazid in their simplicity and ancient
beauty and travel the times amidst the ruins of medieval
Dekhistan
in the western plains of the country.
